Reid is no stranger to the music scene. In college, he and his roommate formed an alternative rock band, Nelo which traveled around the Southeast eventually leading to an independent record deal. Nelo's first album debuted at #21 on the Billboard Hot Seekers chart and over the next nine years the band released three albums and two EPs.

Reid made the decision to shift his focus to a solo career, and settling down with his wife, Jena.
